    The Hidden Order of Intimacy (eBook, ePUB)
    A masterly analysis of the Book of Leviticus, the newest volume in the award-winning series of commentaries on the Hebrew Bible by "a celebrated biblical scholar, keen on weaving together traditional Jewish exegesis, psychoanalysis, and postmodern criticism" (The New York Times Book Review) The image of the Golden Calf haunts the commentaries that thread through Leviticus. This catastrophic episode, in which the Israelites (freed from Egyptian slavery and forty days after their momentous encounter with God at Mount Sinai) worship a pagan idol while Moses is receiving the Torah from God on the mountaintop, gives the mostly legalistic text a unique depth and resonance. According to midrashic tradition, the post-traumatic effects of the sin of the Golden Calf linger through the generations, the sin to be "paid off" in small increments through time. Post-biblical perspectives view this as the diffusion of punishment, as well as a way of addressing the on-going phenomenon of idolatry itself. These after-effects of the Golden Calf incident are imaginatively explored in Avivah Zornberg's magnificent textual analysis. She brings the rabbis of the Talmud, medieval commentators, Hasidic scholars, philosophers, psychoanalysts, and literary masters-from Aristotle and Rashi to the Baal Shem Tov, Franz Rosenzweig, Sigmund Freud, and George Eliot-into her pathbreaking discussion of the nature of reward and punishment, good and evil, Eros and Thanatos, and humankind's intricate and ever-fascinating encounter with the divine.

    Growth
    A systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations.Growth has been both an unspoken and an explicit aim of our individual and collective striving. It governs the lives of microorganisms and galaxies; it shapes the capabilities of our extraordinarily large brains and the fortunes of our economies. Growth is manifested in annual increments of continental crust, a rising gross domestic product, a child's growth chart, the spread of cancerous cells. In this magisterial book, Vaclav Smil offers systematic investigation of growth in nature and society, from tiny organisms to the trajectories of empires and civilizations. Smil takes readers from bacterial invasions through animal metabolisms to megacities and the global economy. He begins with organisms whose mature sizes range from microscopic to enormous, looking at disease-causing microbes, the cultivation of staple crops, and human growth from infancy to adulthood. He examines the growth of energy conversions and man-made objects that enable economic activities developments that have been essential to civilization. Finally, he looks at growth in complex systems, beginning with the growth of human populations and proceeding to the growth of cities. He considers the challenges of tracing the growth of empires and civilizations, explaining that we can chart the growth of organisms across individual and evolutionary time, but that the progress of societies and economies, not so linear, encompasses both decline and renewal. The trajectory of modern civilization, driven by competing imperatives of material growth and biospheric limits, Smil tells us, remains uncertain.

    Printing History and Cultural Change (eBook, ePUB)
    This study provides one of the most detailed and comprehensive examinations ever devoted to a critical transformation in the material substance of the printed page; it carries out this exploration in the history of the book, moreover, by embedding these typographical changes in the context of other cultural phenomena in eighteenth-century Britain. The gradual abandonment of pervasive capitalization, italics, and caps and small caps in books printed in London, Dublin, and the American colonies between 1740 and 1780 is mapped in five-year increments which reveal that the appearance of the modern page in English began to emerge around 1765. This descriptive and analytical account focuses on poetry, classical texts, Shakespeare, contemporary plays, the novel, the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, sermons and religious writings, newspapers, magazines, anthologies, government publications, and private correspondence; it also examines the reading public, canon formation, editorial theory and practice, and the role of typography in textual interpretation. These changes in printing conventions are then compared to other aspects of cultural change: the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1752, the publication of Johnson's Dictionary in 1755, the transformation of shop signs and the imposition of house numbers in London beginning in 1762, and the evolution of the English language and of English prose style. This study concludes that this fundamental shift in printing conventions was closely tied to a pervasive interest in refinement, regularity, and standardization in the second half of the century-and that it was therefore an important component in the self-conscious process of modernizing British culture.

    Intermittent Fasting for Women: Woman’s Guide to a Healthy Leaner and a Sexy Body , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
    The typical Western diet is failing us. There is a lot that is wrong with the way that many Americans choose to eat. Instead of focusing on eating foods that are healthy and wholesome and will provide us the nutrition that we need to stay healthy and disease free, we are eating a lot of processed foods, fast foods, and foods that are full of unnatural ingredients. Instead of listening to our bodies and eating only when we are hungry and need sustenance, we are eating nonstop from the moment we wake up until the moment we go to sleep. While this is the way that most Americans choose to eat, it is incredibly unhealthy for them. All this eating and all this bad food is causing our bodies to fail. We may be getting plenty of calories, but those calories are empty and don’t provide us with the nutrition the body needs to thrive. And all those extra calories are heading straight to our waistline, which is causing a lot of concerning health problems that need to be fixed. Intermittent fasting is one method that you can use to help fix this problem. It first works against the idea that we need to eat five or six meals a day in order to be healthy. Even some popular eating plans ask you to eat that many times in the hopes of keeping your metabolism running fast. But it’s not about how many times you eat but how much you eat that determines the speed of your metabolism. And eating all those times during the day just makes it easier to take in more calories than you need. With intermittent fasting, you are going to learn how to concentrate your eating periods into smaller increments. This helps you to avoid the issue with eating too much and can make it easier to cut out calories. There are various options that you can choose when it comes to an intermittent fast, including daily fasts, alternate day fasts, and more, so it is really easy to personalize it to fit your needs and your style.  ungekürzt.
